Port NOLA and SoS have been horrible at the messaging.
Port NOLA has failed at the PR game big time. True or not it the optics make it look like the port is trying to cram this down the throats of the residents of St. Bernard.
No one has come out and said anything about the infrastructure which needs to be built. No one has said how this will mess with property values. No one has said anything except it'll create jobs. Ok what jobs? For how long?
It's a cluster from both sides. And I say this as a transplant to St. Bernard who commutes into NOLA every day.

This.
St. Bernard is a different place and the Port hasn't understood yet how to deal with the people here. I think there was another tread that discussed this.

Port is saying it's not their responsibility, it is the state (roads) or railroads.
The port is throwing everything into "the studies will tell us what to do". In my opinion the port has made a huge mistake by not having some of these studies done ahead of time... and by basically throwing everything into being determined through the permit process.
There are waaaay too many questions for this point in this process... and in this community, where there is a lack of factual answers, rumors and fake news will rule the day.

Probably because everyone agrees that will be in the form of a new Florida Av expressway
What down the road is more worried about is that rerouting St Bernard Highway will reduce their business traffic, but there really isn’t much business down there to begin with, other than places like the Green Store, Cuda’s, and Casanovas Seafood. Basically, everyone on St B Highway from Colonial to Sugar Mill will be affected, and the East Bank of Plaquemines

Last year I spoke to folks involved with this project, they really thought they would be doing significant construction on-site by mid-2022. I always thought it could take a decade to get all of the approvals with opponents fighting every single step of the way and probably a LA Supreme Court decision or two. The State/Port will eventually win (unless a governor is elected that wants to shut down the project), but it will be a long, messy and EXPENSIVE fight.
